My first, real interview for a real job (high school teacher)... I was rushing to iron my pant-suit for the interview, and I realized 1 second too late that I had the wrong fabric setting on the iron. *Sizzle*, melt... so it basically left an iron-shaped shiny mark on the back of my black blazer.

There was nothing else I could wear. I had to go like that. I was horribly nervous anyway, and tried to walk quickly out of the room after I was done, in case they were staring at my back. Didn't get the job (probably not due to the blazer, but it didn't help), but I got my next one, with a new blazer.
